Find & Evaluate
An effective carbon and energy reduction scheme relies upon the specialist knowledge of those who use the equipment. Without new ideas from staff on how to cut energy consumption and carbon emissions it will be very difficult to make any savings. This journey stage reveals how important staff buy-in is to ensure the scheme's objectives are attained.
Several resources are available in this journey stage, such as Toolbox Talks on specific energy saving ideas and How-To Guides which are designed to be used after a 'Toolbox Talk', enabling staff to identify and evaluate carbon and energy reduction opportunities typically available in crushed rock quarries.
In addition, The Opportunities Database is available here: a spreadsheet tool where you can log and track carbon and energy cutting opportunities from their identification, right the way through to their implementation.
The value of some carbon and energy reduction ideas might be difficult to quantify, but The Opportunities Database makes it possible to evaluate their potential across the breadth of operations in quarries and asphalt plants.
